Should I or shouldn't I??
I am bored, so bored its not funny. I should do some work as i am at work, but my mind is everwhere else but on the job. I am finding it hard to concentrate to keep on track with what i need to do today. I want to curl up on my comfortable lounge and sleep, sleep for a 100 hours, wake up and be off these god damn patches. I want off them now! I am currently on the highest dosages per Doctors orders. I have scripts sitting there for the next two strengths of patches and i am really thinking of going down to the next dosage. My body aches and my head is throbbing, maybe its too much nicotine for my body. I did a questionaire on QuitCoach, if you havent tried it check it out its pretty cool. They give you a personal guide/letter that helps you become an ex-smoker. It says i dont see many benfits from smoking which is a good thing it proves i am on track so maybe i am ready for the next step down. But i dont want to go down and not be ready, even though i think i am my body might have different plans. Should i go down a step or do the full course of 28 days? I wish i had the answers all i know is i am not giving in....

I have been in that situation choosing life and from my experience it's not a good idea. On one of my previous attempts I went down a dose every two weeks from the advice of my doctor. It didn't work and 5 weeks in I was back on the smoking path. We are all different and ultimately it's your body and mind but give yourself every opportunity to succeed. I also know the feeling of wanting to sleep forever it will pass. Keep up the good work we are all bound to have bad days but they HAVE TO GET BETTER!
I have thought long and hard Nic succeed and i am staying on the highest dosage for now. Slow and steadt wins the race, right?
